Well, my 'new-to-me' S&W m15 with some new awesome combat target grips. They have the feel of the old S&W Target grips kind of merged with the old S&W round butt wood combat grips. I am most definitely a fan! This was all shot in DA at 15 yards. I know people believe the 38 special to be an anemic and outdated cartridge but this is sooo accurate and easy to shoot quickly. I would not feel at a disadvantage carrying this with 2 speed loaders. This target was about 200 rounds of 158gr FMJ.

That target is definitely no longer a threat to you:-) JMHO accuracy is a very strong point to any discussion. Yours is great. As to 38special being "anemic" we all use what we are comfortable with?

Never understood why anyone would think the .38 is an anemic and outdated cartridge. It will do anything a 9mm will, and more.
The .38 is a MUCH more versatile cartridge.
 
I love this model of gun! My model 15's and pre-model 15's are probably my most accurate centerfire handguns. Very good shooting, OP!
 
It is so much fun to consistently hit the mark with a fine vintage revolver. No bad guy would want to be on the receiving end of mesinge2's Model 15 "Combat Masterpiece."

God bless,
